We have the same way, a main monolith to do the basics, create and update. But other parts of the system handled by a server. A lot of it is queue consumption based. E.g a server for sending emails, another server for file exporting. Our main system also shares a module for connecting to the DB, which makes it easier to handle database upgrades or changes.
